《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Firkin

[00:00:04] On the fourth of July 1806

[00:00:11] We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork

[00:00:18] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:25] For the grand city hall in New York

[00:00:32] T'was a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:40] And oh how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:46] She stood several blasts she had twenty-seven masts

[00:00:55] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:01:04] We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags

[00:01:07] We had two million barrels of stones

[00:01:11] We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:14] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:01:18] We had five million hogs six million dogs

[00:01:22] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:25] We had eight million bails of old nanny gold tails

[00:01:29] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:45] There was old Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute

[00:01:48] When the ladies lined up for a set

[00:01:52] He was tooting with skill For each sparking quadrille

[00:01:55] Though the dncers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:58] With his smart witty talk he was cock of the walk

[00:02:01] He rolled the dames under and over

[00:02:04] They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance

[00:02:08] That he sailed on the Irish Rover

[00:02:11] There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee

[00:02:14] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:02:17] There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work

[00:02:21] And your man from the West Meath called Malone

[00:02:23] The was slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:02:27] And fighting Bill Tracey from Dover

[00:02:30] And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:02:33] Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

[00:02:36] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:02:40] And the ship lost its way in the fog

[00:02:43] And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:46] Just myself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:49] Then the ship struck a rock oh Lord what a shock

[00:02:53] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:03:00] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

[00:03:10] And the last of the Irish Rover

[00:03:17] And the last of the Irish Rover
